Overview

• Eugenio Santoya Sanchez, 60, was taken into custody and charged with murder, first-degree strangulation, and tampering with physical evidence in Louisville.
• Police say the victim, his wife Ariannas Hernandez Rivera, was found Sept. 14 in the 4100 block of Autumn Way with a lethal neck wound and a pillow over her head.
• An arrest warrant states Sanchez was the only person seen in or around the residence during the period tied to Rivera’s last social-media activity.
• Surveillance described by investigators shows Sanchez walking across the road twice, placing an item in his vehicle’s trunk, and later leaving in the same clothing and vehicle.
• Officers noted a large cut on Sanchez’s hand consistent with a sharp-edged object, and local reports say no court date has been set.
